Frequently Asked Questions

I use a systemic and relational approach rooted in Structural Family Therapy. I believe that our healing is tied to our relationships and our environment. My work is culturally affirming and often incorporates trauma-informed techniques, EMDR, and mind-body somatic practices.

Yes! I offer a free initial consultation so we can discuss your needs, answer any questions, and determine if we're a good fit to work together. You can request a consultation through the contact form or my Psychology Today profile.

Yes! I am a fully bilingual clinician. All of my services—therapy, clinical supervision, and trauma-informed yoga—are available in English, Spanish, or a bilingual format.

I specialize in working with the Latinx/e community and survivors of interpersonal trauma. My expertise includes:

• Anxiety and depression
• Complex trauma and PTSD
• Survivors of sexual violence and domestic abuse
• Acculturation stress and identity issues
• Relational and family dynamic concerns

I am in-network with several providers for Individual Therapy ($150). However, Couples and Family Therapy ($225) are private pay only. I can provide a "superbill" for potential out-of-network reimbursement upon request for these sessions.

When working with minors (ages 13–17), a systemic approach is vital. I require parent consultations once per month to ensure collaborative progress. These consultations are charged at the individual rate of $150 and are private pay only.

You can reach out through the contact form or via my Psychology Today profile. I typically respond within 1–2 business days to discuss your needs.

I require at least 24 hours' notice to cancel or reschedule an appointment. Cancellations made with less than 24 hours' notice are subject to a $100 cancellation fee, which is the responsibility of the client.

All therapy sessions are conducted via a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform. You'll receive a link before each session to join from your computer, tablet, or smartphone. All you need is a private space and a stable internet connection. Due to licensing requirements, you must be physically located in Texas at the time of your session.

I utilize the Rønnestad and Skovholt model of professional development. This is a developmental approach that meets you where you are in your journey—from a novice associate to an experienced professional—focusing on continuous reflection and the integration of the "Self-of-the-Therapist."

I provide supervision for LPC Associates in Texas (as a Primary or Secondary supervisor) and Licensed Professionals seeking peer consultation. Please note: I do not provide supervision for graduate students (practicum or internship) at this time.

• Individual Supervision: $100 per 60-minute session.
• Triadic Supervision (2 supervisees): $70 per 60-minute session.

I also offer specialized Bilingual Supervision for those wanting to strengthen their clinical skills in Spanish.

My yoga services are offered exclusively in in-person group settings through partnerships with nonprofits and community agencies in the Dallas area. I do not offer individual yoga sessions at this time.

I am trained in Yin Yoga. This is a slow-paced, meditative practice that uses longer-held floor poses to help regulate the nervous system, making it an ideal somatic tool for survivors of trauma.

Partnering agencies are responsible for providing a private, quiet space (without mirrors) and the necessary materials, including yoga mats, blocks, straps, and blankets.

I present on a variety of topics, including:

• Mujerismo: Resilience in Latinx/e Womanhood (as seen in my TEDx talk).
• Intergenerational Trauma: Using cultural narratives to understand family cycles.
• Bilingual Counseling: Addressing systemic barriers and counselor training.
• Mental Health in the Media: I also provide expert commentary for outlets like Univision.

Please use the contact form and select "Speaking Engagement." I'd love to discuss how I can tailor a presentation for your organization or conference.
